I have consistently had IDE problems in Delphi/C++Builder for years, with every version. I usually just reboot, recompile, etc. and move on. However, I keep seeing others say that the IDE is rock solid. I ve read many people say that most IDE problems are a result of custom component problems.
We have several of our own custom components and I would not be at all surprised that they were causing the problems. However, I have no idea how to find out.
1) I cannot easily just uninstall a component and see how things go. Each component is vital to our project and designing it out so I can test for a few days is not practical.
2) When I have IDE crashes, they are usually AV s with little (to me) useful information.
3) Sometimes the IDE works for hours with no problems. There are no reasonably reproducible issues, just seemingly random crashes, AV s and failed compiles.
Has anyone had any luck troubleshooting design-time packages?
